I had a wonderful weekend! Saturday I went into work on building machines. I worked only a few hours before I went with Sam out to Burbank to pick up some games from my friend Russ who gave me his employee discount for EA Games. It was Christmas for every guy I know that likes gaming. hehe It was great to see Russ again. But it wasn't a long visit; we got there and basically turned right back around.
After I left the office I called my brothers roommate Mike to let him know his games were in (since my brother was hiking through the Grand Canyon and wouldn't be able to tell him the good news). Turns out he was in a head-on collision! He broke his left arm so bad that they had to do surgery and put a plate in it! He also broke his right wrist! But it was a hairline fracture but still! He is grateful that it wasn't worse then it could have been. The person that hit him head-on was at fault. This is her second offense of a DUI! And she had two kids in the car driving on a suspended license! Either way I was shocked I hadn't heard anything from my family who all knew this. So now my good news about the games came as bad news because now he won't be able to play them any time soon! :-/
So I've lost 4 pounds! I'm really excited. It looks like this program is going to work for me. Though my monthly bill has arrived and I want to eat everything in site, I'm being good.
Mother's Day we went to church and my brother surprised us by showing up (he wasn't supposed to return until Tuesday). So that was a blessing for my mom. After church I prepared the side dishes for the steak my dad was barbequing. Brian helped me out. It was a nice meal. After we cleaned up and caught up on everything with Brian we went to the fair to watch my niece’s ballet recital. On our way back home we stopped off for some ice cream and went home to watch Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (we watched Harry Potter and The Sorcerers Stone the night before). My sister showed up around 9:30pm to watch Phantom of the Opera on DVD but I couldn't keep my eyes open and went to bed with earplugs in (so I could actually sleep) hehe.
Speaking of Phantom of the Opera... My brother Shawn really screwed up on his 10th anniversary. So this year, his 13th, he surprised my sister-in-law with a romantic weekend getaway! He was in Dallas on a business trip, which he wasn't going to be done with until Tuesday, so she thought. He had a limo arrive Friday afternoon with a note to pack and take the limo to the airport. His assistant was to tell her that the kids were taken care of. She was then flown to New York and met at the airport by another driver to take her to the Hilton Hotel and then was taken to have a full body massage. That evening she would finally meet my brother at a fancy dinner. The next day they took a boat to all the sites and that evening they went to see Phantom of the Opera on Broadway! How awesome is that!?!? I mean if he screwed up their 10 year he made up for it and then some!
Today is a training day at work. It's going to be a LONG day! Well I should probably get as much done as possible before I get stuck in the conference room all day.
